  Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Ponoka?

From humble beginnings to a fully serviced rehabilitation facility

In 1991, the then owner of Ponoka Physiotherapy, Donna LaRocque, hired a physio for her small practice in Ponoka. Having graduated in South Africa, worked (in private practice, large hospitals and rural hospitals) in Durban, S.A,, London, England, and Coronation, AB., Cal David knew that he had found his niche in the world in Ponoka, after being warmly received by its residents and medical community. Meeting and marrying Karen (nee Telidetzki) soon after, and raising 2 kids, who are currently teenagers, he had found his new home.

As a sole practice physiotherapist for many years in Ponoka he has had to become versed in many different physiotherapy modalities and treatment techniques in order to provide quality services to his community. This has led to a lifelong of learning; from being certified to practice acupuncture and order x-rays and other diagnostic imaging to courses in golf injuries and treatment (TPI), work injuries (Matheson), Back Pain (McKenzie, FMS) to name a few and most recently being certified with Complete Concussion Management to offer baseline and post concussion management.

As part of giving back to the profession and to expose this rural clinic to new and modern techniques in the world of physiotherapy this clinic has always offered an offsite preceptor programme to the physiotherapy assistant students at Red Deer College. It had previously also served the physiotherapy students from U of A as well.

Recent renovations and an expansion to the little grey building (built in 1998) and the addition of physiotherapists, an occupational therapist and massage therapists have allowed Ponoka Physiotherapy to expand its services even further, stay open longer and continue to provide services to the residents of Ponoka and area all at a reasonable rate - something that has been in our mission statement from the day we started.
